J'ai peur cette fois ci

The video begins with a focus on mechanical work, specifically installing a new carburetor. The speaker notes some distinctive features of this new carburetor compared to a "Chinese" one, including bronze jets that are not numbered and appear smaller. There's also a peculiar bronze or brass plug where an air vent would typically be, and after inspection, it seems there's no air vent at all. The speaker had to reuse a dirty old cover for the carburetor because the cable on the new one is not easily detachable; it appears to be riveted in place, requiring it to be cut and replaced, which the speaker found impractical. The new carburetor features a plastic float, unlike the previous one. The old, supposedly Japanese carburetor, had a broken internal part, which was the reason for purchasing the new one. The main orifices of the new carburetor seem smaller, but this is dismissed as unimportant. The old carburetor also had a damaged bowl gasket, which led to the decision to buy a completely new unit. The speaker anticipates needing to buy a set of smaller jets, possibly 4 or 5 mm, if the new carburetor doesn't perform well, acknowledging that these small jets might be hard to find. The first tests of the new carburetor reveal it's running too rich, leading to the conclusion that it's "shit." Next, the speaker discusses a new handlebar. The new handlebar measures almost 30 inches, while the old one was 29 inches. The speaker usually cuts handlebars to 29 or 28 inches, preferring longer ones for better control, but acknowledges that shorter handlebars (around 28.5 inches) are better for navigating through traffic, especially when passing between cars. There are markings on the handlebar, suggesting where to cut. The speaker plans to remove about half an inch (1 cm) from each side, similar to what was done on an XR80 Red Bull. This modification aims to strike a balance between maintaining front-end stability and allowing easier maneuverability, particularly in Los Angeles traffic, to avoid hitting car mirrors or scratching paint, especially on Teslas, whose drivers are already described as agitated when motorcycles pass them. The speaker then moves on to checking the XR80 Red Bull, specifically addressing an oil leak around the screw for the timing chain tension adjustment. It's identified that a small O-ring seal is likely worn out and needs replacement. The speaker proceeds to tighten the screw and its counter-nut, cleaning up the oil to monitor for future leaks. The video transitions to a ride, with the speaker commenting on the traffic and the general fatigue caused by congestion in "Panam" (likely referring to Panama City or a similar urban area). The speaker expresses a desire for more dynamic riding, contrasting it with being stuck in traffic. The speaker then narrates a scenario where they are rushing from work in "La Défense" to "Créteil" to make food for their children, emphasizing the stress of time and money, and the cheapness of pasta and ravioli. During the ride, the speaker encounters other motorcyclists and drivers. There's an interaction with a retired person, who the speaker refers to as "Edward," mistakenly thinking the speaker wanted to give him the motorcycle. The speaker also observes a man in a car who appears to be vibrating or trembling, which is described as strange. The speaker then comments on a person smoking a cigarette, lamenting the practice of smoking in 2025/2026, describing it as "disgusting" and noting that smoking in public indoor spaces is no longer allowed, unlike in the 1960s in Paris. The speaker then observes the general state of the streets, mentioning drug use, homeless people, and "crazy" individuals, acknowledging that while it's initially shocking, one eventually gets used to it, though it "taps on the system" day after day. The video concludes with more riding footage, including interactions with pedestrians and other drivers, using colorful and sometimes aggressive language. The speaker emphasizes the sense of freedom and excitement associated with riding, despite the challenges of traffic and urban life. There's a strong emphasis on "family" and loyalty, suggesting a close-knit community. The speaker continues to comment on the surroundings, the smell of gasoline, and the overall experience of riding, ending with an expression of intense motion.
